So welcome everyone and thank you for joining me for this sacred experience focusing on connecting with your ancestral resources.
Now all of us carry within us not only the imprint of our own life experiences but also the wisdom,
Strength and gifts of countless generations that came before us.
While we often focus on healing family wounds,
On healing repeating patterns which is important work.
Now today we'll explore something equally powerful but we'll connect with the positive resources,
Talents,
Maybe even resilience that flows to us through our ancestral lineage.
Now we'll try and create a sacred space today so we can journey and connect with these energies and qualities that are also your birthright.
Now whether you are familiar with ancestral healing work or this is your first experience,
All you need to do is have an open mind and I just invite you to approach this time with curiosity and self-compassion.
Whatever you need from this journey will come in.
Trust.
Now as we settle into our space just start maybe by finding a comfortable position where your body feels supported.
Maybe your spine can be straight if your body allows.
You might choose to sit in a chair or you might like to lie down if that feels better for you today.
Find that position for yourself and as you're listening to the words now,
As you're listening to my voice,
You can just allow your eyes now to gently close or if you prefer start by maintaining a soft gaze downwards.
Now let's take a moment now to support our body.
Now this can be me letting my spine,
Letting my hips,
The back of my body fully rest against the hard surface,
Against the earth or against the stability beneath me.
So as I breathe out now I can let the back of my body fall a little bit deeper into the hard surface.
As I'm doing this I'm creating a space of safety,
Openness and possibility.
Now let's take a few more breaths to fully arrive in this moment.
Breathing in deeply through your nose and releasing fully through your mouth and continue.
As you're doing this please also take a moment to set an intention for this meditation.
Maybe it's strength that you'd like to connect with or I am simply open to whatever presents itself.
Just hold this intention into your awareness.
And one more time,
Breathing in and as I breathe out now,
There's nothing I need to change,
There's nothing I need to control.
My thoughts can stay,
The sensations in my body can stay and my breathing is now finding its natural rhythm.
Now before we journey deeper just like to share a few thoughts about ancestral resources and trust that a part of you knows this and a part of you completely understands the field that we are stepping into.
Now every family system has survived countless challenges,
Hardships,
Migrations,
Sometimes wars,
Economic hardships,
Illnesses and more.
So the very fact that you exist today is a testament to the resilience,
Courage and determination of your ancestors.
Now all these qualities flow to you through what we call the knowing field.
Now this energetic connection transcends time and space.
In this field there are also special gifts that every family system has.
Now perhaps as an example it's your grandmother's creativity,
Maybe it's your great-grandfather's patience or one of your ancestors maybe had a deep connection to the healing world,
To nature.
Now some of these gifts may be known to you through the stories that you know,
Others may have been forgotten but in both cases they are still live within your system.
Now today's journey we are creating a space so we can reconnect with some of these resources now as a way to recognize and integrate these gifts,
These strengths,
These resources that are already within you.
Now to go a little bit deeper into our bodies,
Into our subconscious,
You can start by taking a few conscious breaths.
So begin maybe by placing one hand on your heart,
The other one on your belly and just breathe.
As you breathe in imagine that you are drawing breath not just into your lungs but all the way down to your feet,
Through the floor,
Into the earth and as you exhale feel yourself releasing any tension,
Resistance that you may have in your system right now.
Every inhale now imagine that you're breathing the support of all those that came before you,
Their strength,
Their wisdom and their love and with every exhale release anything that blocks your connection with these resources.
Breathing in and receive,
Breathing out,
Opening up.
Just continue just for a few more breaths till you feel yourself becoming more receptive and more open to all that's available to you through this ancestral field.
Now feeling calmer,
Safer,
More connected,
More into my subconscious.
You can allow your hands now to rest comfortably or you can keep them there if you need to and now we'll allow ourselves to journey deeper into this meditation,
This journey.
I invite you now to imagine yourself standing in a beautiful,
Natural,
Peaceful setting and just let this place,
This thing come to you.
Now if you're not good at visualization it may just be a feeling in your body,
Just trust whatever is showing up for you.
I'm now standing in this beautiful,
Peaceful,
Natural setting.
This might be a place that I know really well or a forest or a field or a mountaintop,
Anything allowing this place to form around you now.
Noticing the details,
The sounds,
The sense,
The feelings.
Now as you stand here,
Just become aware of a path in front of you and this path has been walked by many that came before you.
Just noticing this path ahead of you and as I start now to walk on this path with each step,
I can feel supported,
I can feel myself moving deeper and deeper and deeper into the field.
Now as I keep walking,
I now start to feel like I'm going back in time.
I'm feeling safer,
Calmer,
More supported and I'm walking this path now with full awareness and full respect.
Now just ahead of you as the path is coming to an end,
You may see now,
You may sense now that there is a circle that appears in front of you.
Now it's a gathering place,
It's a circle and slowly,
Gently as I approach this circle now,
You now become aware of others,
Different presence,
Presences forming around the circle.
Now these may be supportive energies of your ancestors,
Those who have something positive to offer to you today.
Now let these individuals appear.
They may be felt as energies,
They may be felt as sensations,
As lights,
As names,
As symbols.
However this is unfolding for you,
You cannot get this wrong,
Just trust.
Where is your place in the circle now?
Take that place.
I'm standing into the field,
I'm seeing all these supportive energies,
I'm seeing my ancestors,
I'm seeing some people I know,
I'm seeing some people I don't know and I may be guided to take a specific place in this circle.
Now take your place in the circle now and as you do that,
You may feel that you're part of the whole.
This may feel that there is something greater here,
The whole my family system.
Now we'll just pause,
As you've taken your place here,
This circle we're just gonna pause for a few seconds,
Just gonna pause for a few seconds.
I may start to feel very,
Very strong in my body.
I may start to feel I'm not alone and for some of you,
You may also have emotions coming up through this reconnection.
It's like I am now part of this puzzle,
I'm now part of the circle and my soul was longing for this connection for such a long time.
Now very gently,
Very slowly look around your own circle.
You might notice certain souls,
Certain people,
Certain energies drawing your attention and perhaps it's a quality about them that you're seeing today.
I see strength in you,
I see wisdom in you,
I see creativity in you,
I see joy in you,
I see the ability to overcome challenges in you.
So let this process happen for you and allow your attention now to rest on whichever soul appears most significant to you right now.
This might be someone you know from your family history,
This might be a distant ancestor and this might be someone that you haven't met in this incarnation but you can very much feel the energy in all of these cases.
Now again we are going to pause.
I'm in this circle,
My whole family system is here and people that are drawn to working with me have gathered in this circle and I now have this opportunity to let myself be guided to where I need to go.
As I connect with the presence of this ancestor,
What quality or resource might be helpful for me at this time in my life?
Is it courage?
Is it patience?
Is it creativity?
Is it a connection to earth?
Whatever it is,
Just allow yourself now to feel that this quality exists and it's something that already flows within your family system and it is available to you.
And we'll take a small pause once again.
Now if it feels right for you,
Just imagine yourself stepping towards this person,
Towards this presence,
Towards this soul and just acknowledge them with respect and openness.
In whatever way feels natural for you,
Allow yourself now to receive the gift that they have to offer to you.
Now this might happen through words,
Through an embrace or simply through feeling an energy transmitting in my body.
Take time with this exchange,
There is no need to rush.
Something might be going on in my life that I was guided to this particular resource and this particular ancestor.
I am now receiving that sitting in this sacred exchange.
As I receive this gift,
How does my body feel?
Where do I feel this?
Perhaps a warmth in your chest,
A tingling in your hands.
Maybe I feel stronger in my legs,
An openness in my throat.
Just let this quality begin to integrate with you wherever you are and we also very much recognize that this is something that already exists.
I'm just awakening this within me now.
We are just going to give a little bit time for this quality now to fully integrate whatever you have received today.
Just letting it settle in,
Settle in,
Settle in.
My hands,
My legs may be heavy,
They're just signs that I'm receiving,
Activating this strength,
This gift,
This resource.
Now,
As this exchange completes,
I'll go back and take my place in the circle once again and take a moment once again to look around the entire circle and just let your heart fill with joy knowing that there is such an abundance of resources,
Qualities,
And gifts that are available to you through this field.
Now at this stage,
If you feel drawn to working with another presence right now,
Another soul,
You can pause this recording now and walk over to them and continue another exchange and if you think you got everything that you needed for today,
You can now just recognize first that you can return to this circle whenever you need to or maybe whenever you need to strengthen a particular quality within yourself.
This is always available to you.
Place your hand on your heart and just draw the essence of whatever you've received today.
I'm also now feeling honor and gratitude for all the connections that I met,
That I saw today.
I'm now feeling gratitude for the continuity of life that flows through my family system.
Now in this space,
Before I exit the circle,
I can gently say this to myself out loud or in my mind.
I honor everything that I brought in today.
I honor everything that I let go of today and I honor all the possibilities that my future holds and I now thank all the ancestors by bowing to them.
I can either bow or I can lie on the floor.
My hands are extended forward.
This is my way of thanking my ancestors,
Acknowledging,
Honoring,
Respecting and thanking them for this work,
For the gifts that I brought in and just to give me this understanding that I'm part of this huge circle where there is an abundance of resources that I can tap into anytime.
When you're ready now in your vision and allow yourself to stand,
Turn away now and just begin to walk back the same path that you took to come in.
Walking,
Walking,
Walking,
Walking,
Walking,
Walking.
The same solid path that I used,
That I took to find the circle and now walking back,
Back,
Back,
Back,
Back,
Back,
Back,
Back,
Back,
Back and after the next step I'm now starting to come back to the room,
Now starting to come back to my body.
Now at this stage you can start to feel the sensation of your floor,
Of the floor under your feet.
Maybe wiggle your fingers,
Wiggle your toes,
Just bring a bit of movement into your body and as you exhale now you'll fully come back to your body.
Now take a few moments just for reflection.
Now there's no need to analyze or figure anything out,
Just be present with what you've received today.
Now the resources that I've connected with today,
How might they support me in my life circumstances and just let this reflection happen.
Now you're very welcome to stay here for longer just to be present with what you've received or if you wish you can at this stage gently open your eyes and bring your awareness back to the room,
Back to the space around you.
Thank you very much for joining me in this journey today to connect with your ancestral resources and I hope you discovered the gifts,
The wisdom and the qualities that flow to you and that are always available to you.
Now I strongly encourage you to reflect on your experience today,
Maybe even keeping a journal and just keeping a note of any shifts or any insights that may emerge over the next few hours,
Next few days,
Next few weeks.
You can return to this meditation whenever you wish to and thank you again for your time in your presence.
Now may the wisdom and strength of your ancestors support you on your journey forward.
Thank you everyone and namaste
